Beijing's 2017 population is now estimated at 22,063,000. In 1950, the population of Beijing was 1,671,000. Beijing has grown by 1,679,000 in the last year, which represents a 8.20% change. These population estimates and projections come from the latest revision of the UN World Urbanization Prospects.
The study also found that Beijingâs population density soared by more than 60 percent from 1999 to 2011 to 1,300 people per square km, a level described as unsustainable. The dense population weighs heavily on the cityâs roads and public transport systems, the report said.
